2. Connect the power sensors to the R&S NRP‑Z5 sensor hub. You can connect
up to four sensors.
3. Connect the R&S NRP‑Z5 to the computer.
4. NOTICE! Incorrectly connecting or disconnecting the power sensor can dam-
age the power sensor or lead to erroneous results. Ensure that you connect or
disconnect the power sensor as described in Chapter 3.4, "Connecting to a
DUT", on page 13.
Connect the power sensors to the signal sources.
5. Connect the delivered external power supply unit to the R&S NRP‑Z5 and to
an AC supply connector.
6. Connect the trigger input of the R&S NRP‑Z5 with a BNC cable to the trigger
source (optional).
7. Connect the trigger output of the R&S NRP‑Z5 with a BNC cable to the trigger
device (optional).
8. On the computer, start a software application to view the measurement
results. See Chapter 5, "Operating concepts", on page 32.
3.7.2 Base unit
As a controlling host, you can use an R&S NRX base unit.
You can also operate the power sensor using other supported
Rohde & Schwarz instruments with a sensor connector. For details, see also
the user manual of the instrument.
► Establish the connection with the base unit using:
● Host interface, see Chapter 5.7, "R&S NRX", on page 41.
● LAN interface, if:
– Base unit is an R&S NRX
– Power sensor is a LAN power sensor
See Chapter 3.7.3, "Using a LAN connection", on page 20.
